warning in eigen value
Hi
I build a steel moment frame unsing Ibarra model with constrained plasticity. Then I did eigen value analysis on it.
It give me following warning:
ProfileSPDLinDirectSolver::solve<> - aii <0<i,aii>: <<25, 0>
I check the constrains and EqualDof.
Could you please help me.

Re: warning in eigen value
do a "print node" after it fails and find a node with an ID of 25 .. either node is free, not enough conatrstints or ele framing into it are producing a negative value for kii .. in which case either incorrect definition, or material is yielding and you have chosen the wrong type of solver as matrix no longer symmetric POSITIVE definite

Re: warning in eigen value
Thanks
I download Dynamic_example and MRF_PanelZone_example from openSEES site. They have the same warning when performing the eigen command.
Is this a common warning?
Can I Ignore it for further IDA analysis?

Re: warning in eigen value
it is typically not something that can be ignored as it typically means that the analysis has stopped .. if only occuring in the eigen command, do you get eigenvalues?

Re: warning in eigen value
Yes, I got eigenvalues.
I changed the stiffness of zero length element in RotLeaningCol.tcl file that written by Laura Eads, to a very large value. This time, The warning didn't appear.

Hi I get some Negative eigenvectors when I use command “print node”. Is it right? I am not sure, PLEASE help me !

Re: warning in eigen value
Negative values of eigenvectors at some nodes are fine. It all depends on the mode shape

Re: warning in eigen value
can eigenvectors be negative even for the first mode shape ?
